And they get to the bottom of how another demonstrator died just outside the building, Rosanne Boyland, who collapsed and then was trampled upon by other insurgents. The filmmakers also established the precise circumstances around the death of Ashli Babbitt, an insurrectionist who was shot by a Capitol police offer after she tried to breach a door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby on the House side of the Capitol.
